Javascript Instructions

It can be used to make areas of a web page glow, blink or change appearance. It can be used to check data entries that you make. For example, we use it to make sure that any dates you enter are in the correct date format.

It is normally safe to turn JavaScript on. Other than writing and reading cookies, JavaScript can not "write to" or "read from" your hard disk. Thus it can not access your files.

The main risks with having JavaScript turned on is that malicious web sites can use it to grab your web browser and take you to a completely different web site.

Some sites will pass you from site to site to get credit for bringing in new traffic.

They can also change the default page that your web browser starts up with.

We don't do that here at CareerPlanner.com.

We use JavaScript to make sure the data that you enter into our forms is in the correct format.

It does things like make sure the email address you typed in has the "@" symbol.

It also makes sure that dates you enter are correctly formatted.

We also use it to make sure you enter a password that is between 6 and 10 characters long.

So if Javascript is turned off, we can not check the data you enter and this will cause errors and give you a bad experience.
